My dear,
Calvary Greetings!!
My name is Mrs. Ruth Makary a 65yrs old lady. I am a cancer patient and a nationality of Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Sammy Makary who
worked with Kuwait embassy in SWITZERLAND for nine years before he died in an automobile crash in December 1999. We were married for
eleven years without a child. Before his death we were devoted Christians. When my late husband was alive we protected our assets of $USD9.5 Million through the purchase of a life insurance policy
(Swiss variable annuities) from a Swiss life insurance company. I was irrevocably
designated as beneficiaries of the policy. The purpose of this investment was to safe our principal capital and make use of accrues income from the annuities for our upkeep since the principal fund and the accrued interest are exempt from Swiss taxes under Swiss law. But unfortunately he died.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last long due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.I developed this sickness as a result of the sudden shock and hearth attack I had when the breaking news came to me on that faithful day
that my husband was involved in an auto crash and died at the spot in the city of Zurich in December 1999.
Having known my condition I decided to
liquidate these assets and donate this fund with all the accrued interests to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want an individual
that will use this fund to churches,
Orphanages, Research centers and widows,
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
I took this bold decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are of questionable characters and are not Christians. And I don't want my hard earned
money to be misused by unbelievers and I would dislike a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the
reasons for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going and everyone is entitling to death. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in
this regard because of my health and for the presence of my family relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development. With God all things are possible.
I have briefed my attorney about this development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my attorney in London, whom shall issue you my power of authority and other documents that would enable the trust company to transfer the fund
to you. I want you and the church to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for other people for this same purpose. I have decided to map out 25% [Twenty Five Percent] for you to cover all expenses that may arise during the transaction.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. Expecting to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Ruth Makary
